Selena Gomez's Message of Hope to One Fan: Every Life Is Worth It

When fans reach out to their favorite celebrities for help, it's more often than not a shot in the dark—but when stars take the time to notice and respond with encouragement and kindness, the process is kind of amazing (and so touching) to watch. Selena Gomez recently did just that—posting a thoughtful response to a fan who is trying to cope with depression. Gomez wrote:God puts us in situations that are so unexplainably difficult for a reason. There is someone in the world feeling so much, just like you. There is someone who will always have it better or have it way worse than you. The point of all of that is for [you] to feel not alone. My point is, you are not alone in this world. People every day feel so many emotions they wish they could turn it off. But that's not why we are here. I know I meant lives. I don't care about grammar. I'm sorry I had to share.

We are here for relationships, for people just like us who feel worthless. Your purpose is to share, help, encourage. Remember that. Please. Before you think of taking your life, think of all the lives you could save. I love you. More importantly, there is a God that will love more than I ever could.
